I SPLASH TOMORROW!!

Finally, tomorrow is the day I get to rock and roll in the water. It sure will be nice to be in the water and forget about all the raunchy, dirty, and downright uncomfortable moments of grinding, sanding and handling some pretty toxic paints and undercoats. I'm now praying that there is no water leaking in when I splash, because of the length of time that Mannasea has been out of the water. I'm starting to feel like I'm a Guaymas resident. I know so many locals and know where everything is in this town. The marina had a barbecue for everyone 2 nights ago and it was quite nice with shrimp, chicken, and beef with all the fixins. I will be hanging around here until Saturday the 15th then put my car away and head over to Bahia Concepcion for a couple of days. I am posting some photos in the photo gallery and in those you find some nice art work that I did to the bottom of Mannasea.....I'm positive Gabriella will get a kick out of it. My first dive into the water I will take pictures of the art work with my new underwater camera. I had the most wonderful experience with Gabriellas first grade class a couple of Wednesdays back. Mrs. Reali. her first grade teacher was gracious enough to download Skype and have her laptop in the class so I could have a video conference with the class. It was so cool to see them and answer their questons in person and scan my camera around the boat so they could see what a messy housekeeper I am.(mid-construction?) I hope to have a few more of those as I drift down the coast and over to the Mexican Riviera. I should post again before I leave this Saturday....Look in the photo gallery.....
